Pamela Anderson's infamous sex tape has come back to haunt her - thanks to Borat. The former Baywatch star and Playboy model came clean to her sons, Brandon, 12, and Dylan, 11, about the raunchy video she made with ex Tommy Lee because of the 2006 comedy in which she had a cameo.

"I knew kids were going to watch the film and there was a reference to the tape in the movie and they're that age and, you know, people are going to start saying things," Anderson tells British talk-show host Jeremy Kyle, recounting the sit-down. "I just said, 'Look, Mummy and Daddy were massively in love, we videotaped everything, everything was videotaped, and you're probably going to hear about something at school.' "

The Prejean camp followed up an initial "no, not at any price" with a threat to sue Vivid if it tries for distribution without her permission.

Stripped of her crown, Prejean sued the pageant but reportedly settled after being confronted with the tape. She called the tape the biggest mistake of her life. Meanwhile, Radar Online.com reports that seven more biggest mistakes of her life have surfaced.
